He decided to face the promising Mexican boxing star, Jaime Munguía, in an epic clash scheduled for Saturday, May 4th, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Moreover, the selection of Munguía as an opponent comes after an unexpected outcome in the negotiations with Charlo, leaving fans uncertain about seeing ‘Canelo’ in the ring on May 4th.

Tensions between Álvarez and the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) promoter reached a critical point, leading the boxer and the promoter to terminate their working relationship.

This breakup occurs despite the initial contract with PBC including three fights, of which only one took place, against Jermell Charlo.

Anticipation for this matchup is growing as the date approaches, with the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas poised to host a significant event, according to Medio Tiempo.
